'You can't ignore him any longer': Michael Owen says Palmer should replace Saka in the England lineup

Former England striker Michael Owen believes Cole Palmer must replace Bukayo Saka in the England squad.

"I would now start Cole Palmer over Bukayo Saka,” Owen said. “I don’t think you can ignore Palmer’s form and quality any longer.

“I had him in my squad a few months ago but now he’s one of the best players in the Premier League. He might even get Player of the Year, possibly the Golden Boot, and that’s in a struggling team.

“So he’s now a must in my mind. I would play him on the right. I’d have Foden and him, one on the right and one central, then have Rice as a lone number 6, then Bellingham and Foden as 8s stroke 10s and Cole on the right.”

Do you agree with Owen? Should Saka or another player be dropped for Palmer? Let us know in the comments!
